Before You Begin: Prerequisites
Before you change any settings in PrestaShop, it is essential to ensure the following:
The new domain must already point to your hosting plan.
The new domain must be correctly added to your cPanel account (as an addon domain or alias, as appropriate).
Warning: Do not modify the URLs in your PrestaShop admin panel until the two points above are complete. If you change them prematurely, you will be locked out of your website and admin panel. A simple way to check is to try visiting your new domain in a browser.
